if you listen blitzer feelings are the instruments that steer us and whoever can control these feelings has great power over us you can pretty well go rhythms instead of feelings measuring emotion starting december sixteenth on t w. this is you know we news live from berlin new day of rage palestinian protesters and israeli military faceoff following president trump's decision to recognize truth slim as the capital of israel her sister's clash with israeli soldiers in east jerusalem gaza and the west bank trumps contentious decision reversed decades

of u.s. neutrality on the status of jerusalem and has been met with world wide diplomatic backlash also coming up. a breakthrough in breaks it talks between britain and the european union e.u. commission president the zone closed yorker and prime minister to resign may say the next phase of negotiations can now finally begin. and he's called for a united states of europe but first yes the first way his own social democrat party to start coalition talks which house the american conservatives deduce has an exclusive one on one with s.p.d. leader martin schulz. thank you very much for your company demonstrations have been held around the world as anger intensifies over donald trump. decision to recognize jerusalem as the

capital of israel or earlier and bethlehem police fired tear gas at people who gathered after friday prayers to protest the u.s. decision israel's government has stepped up security in the country after palestinian groups called for a day of rage. emotions are running high across the border we can get you the latest now. kramer is in jerusalem and journalist for the katon is in bethlehem want to start off with you fadi how are people in bethlehem reacting there right now. people are reacting great now there's nothing happening on the ground as you've said of her fight the prayers that husband a reaction there was a small practice if we look at the progress of the groups the country is not you've been very small compared to the expectancy time you want to get to is the city on high alert to respond where you are. when i think he said it was less

tense as expected and also we saw off to friday prayers people came out here where i'm standing from. just a mosque to space which is the main gates of the old city in east jerusalem there were protests there were singing and sometimes also praying again and then police and riot police and special forces moved in and trying to push people out that it came back it was back and forth also the tide was people with horses so it was a bit back and forth but right now about missing there is still a high police presence but that's always you know in east jerusalem and especially at this point here in town and you know people are going back normally into the city here at a mosque a skate and you know they're walking around it is less tense and probably as expected all right the city is the message that's coming through loud and clear after this decision by president trump is that this isn't about real estate how do people in bethlehem where you are where many christian palestinians live what does

to loosely mean for them. drucilla means a lot but i would i would say there's a difference between two generations which is important to remember there is a generation that has grown up and lived with drew sloan before the israel these review authorities build the segregation wall and for that generation drew through means not only the religious part whether they're christian or muslim and the religious to cut from it but also a lot of social and commercial links to jerusalem historically the younger generation and that's the worrying generation that has been born after two thousand and two or grown up after two thousand and two has literally never seen jerusalem in jerusalem has become this mythical capital that is a mythical dreamt up dream of trying to do a capital forward for palestine in jerusalem that looks a lot around their imagination but not the reality the older generation for them

druce room has always been the center whether you're in bethlehem and ramallah in jericho or even further on to nablus and habra jerusalem has where tonya's right now in damascus gate and further into the new city the palestinian east jerusalem you city has always been the place where people went to shop where people went to meet and where people had their culture life to dangerous them a lot of the cultural institutions are poorly surviving because they've been deprived of the link to the rest of the palestinians all right and i want to talk to you in a little bit about bethlehem as well but first a tiny we've seen protests break out in turkey jordan and other nations any word from the israeli leadership what they are planning to do next. you know we didn't hear much meat action to protest i mean what we heard actually the day before is mr netanyahu this really prime minister that he is quite confident that

also other countries foot follow the lead the u.s. . to maybe move also the embassies i mean he's very pleased with this decision and you don't really see that they take into account you know all this criticism coming from all over the world so there were no you know reactions to that yet on what's happening on the ground and other arab countries but of course it will take this into consideration but then you know this month the mood to quite satisfied it's within unspent by mr trump and they see that this is where they want to go to have to. do some s. a couple to off the i'm going to give you the last word bethlehem where you are is home to the church of nativity many pilgrims will want to mark christmas in the holy land where just a couple of weeks away from christmas how concerned are people where you are that things could spiral out of control and you know prevent people from from coming very important revenue for the tourism in that area. what we're seeing already in

those last two days is a start of cancellations from individuals and groups that are coming to celebrate christmas there has been actually even a faster reaction that we've expected already in the last two days we've seen a lot of cancellations of even domestic tourists that were coming from places like nazareth or haifa and that they were planning to spend the weekend in beslan because bethlehem is already two to receive its pilgrims with the prisoners lighting for the for the christmas tree lighting on the second of december which is quite a big event the presence of the palestinian prime minister and no better looks sad and empty hopefully this wave will not have more repercussions and people will still come for christmas to better our rights at the time in bethlehem and tanya kramer and jerusalem thank you both. the u.n. security council is meeting at this hour in an emergency session to discuss

president trumps official recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel a move that sparked fury and frustration throughout the region but with demonstrators in countries like syria jordan and iran taking to the streets to express their opposition. to a familiar ritual burning the israeli and american flags the scene took place in a palestinian refugee camp in syria. across the border in around a prayer leader urged palestinians to rise up and hundreds of iranians took to the streets. of both countries have a history of enmity with the u.s. and israel. but in egypt long seen as a u.s. and israeli ally there were mass protests as well these demonstrators are chanting jerusalem is arab. the alamo a set that i'm woman with trumps needs to know that palestine is in the hearts of

all the arabs muslims and every free person in this world and some for the few as i live. but the outrage spread beyond israel's neighboring countries from the streets of the somali capital mogadishu to the mountains of kashmir. was not that i was. loath and in pakistan trumps decision seem to trigger a general backlash by the judge that trump is a madman the american people must take a stand and make it clear that they do not stand with trump otherwise we are left with no choice but to consider the american people to be anti islamic. i proof that the israel palestine issue has not faded in the minds of muslims worldwide i. back here in your. the european union and britain have agreed everett's an agreement on baghdad which means they

can now progress to the next round of talks u.k. prime minister theresa may and european commission president isn't cloudy on earth that they've agreed on key issues like the rights for e.u. citizens in the u.k. and guaranteeing no hard border between norden ireland and the republic of ireland now the move on to negotiations about suture trade relations both sides are calling it a breck's a breakthrough capping off a week of drama purchased prime ministers to resume a arrived early at the european commission her goal saving the talks on her country's exit from the e.u. a short meeting with european commission president include hugo followed and then the two emerged to make the big announcement usable. fairly poor. we've been able to make sufficient progress to ensure that we can now move into the second phase of the negotiation between the united kingdom and the european union of twenty seven of them so it. may and june can say there's been progress on

a major stumbling block how to manage the featured border between the u.k.'s northern ireland and the ease republic of ireland has been a particularly tricky subject many a hard border separating the two with border guards could plunge the north back into turmoil by undermining the belfast agreement it ended decades of sectarian violence in the region. in northern ireland we will guarantee there will be no hard border and we will uphold the belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. but e.u. chief bracks negotiates a michel barnier system acing out the store on the issue will need special tools. to citizens. in northern ireland democratic unionist party has stood in the way of an agreement so far that support is vital to may's minority government and even now they're not satisfied with what's been agreed so far. but the talks can still

proceed from here that's the e.u. leaders sign off on the deal to council summit next week are more about this important of elements with clinton appeal is that our parliamentary sitio says an analyst with u.k. think tank chatham house a very good day sir is this a break sir. it's certainly a good thing it's the first serious sign of progress we've seen for about six months they had to get agreement on these three big issues in order to clear the way to the really serious round of talks ahead on what the future trade relations and totality of the u.k. e.u. relationship would look like and they got very bogged down on these issues the none of them easy so is the fact that they've gotten agreement now and i hope it will be confirmed next week in the european council then is a good thing because they can move on ok so they can move on but they basically kicked the most contentious issues just down the road. yes i think so even on the

irish border because in essence they're still saying that need to be no irish border but also there need be no border between london the rest of great britain and it's very difficult to see how if to resume a insists she's going to leave the single market and she's going to leave the european customs union how you can have new physical checks whatsoever on goods that may go backwards and forwards so i think there's still fudging the issue because both sides do want to move on right now prime minister may had a very difficult negotiating position she had to make concessions what will our critics make of these latest developments well the trouble is for trees i'm a she's got critics on both sides she's got hardline bricks at cricket critics who don't actually care very much how what sort of agreement we have with the european

union they just want to cut britain's ties with europe and the remaining who are actually desperate to keep relatively close ties something that looks very like the single market in the customs union because they're really worried about the economic effect on british business and it was business that's been pressurizing to reason may to get movement so that they have some surety of where they're going to . be closer to finding out what brands it will actually look like just you know taking today's deal as a as a foundation. i'm not sure we what it says in today's deal of the irish border question has really pushed the potato at this it says that if there's new bigger agreement then the brits will guarantee there is some sort of regular three alignment between the whole of the united kingdom and europe that's going to say to

the brics it is very like we're not leaving on the other hand we need to actually be acceptable to the twenty seven remaining european union states i'm not sure so she's cool to between this real tension of how far she can go and she hasn't resolved the problem because there's still a huge division within her government can feel of chatham house thank you. our want to let you know about some of the other stories making news around the world officials say massive wildfires tearing tearing through southern california to start hundreds of homes the blazes have now forced tens of thousands of people to flee for safety major state highways have been closed as hot desert winds are fanning the flames. but first presidents and many i might call has been awarded the twenty eighteen charlemagne prize the annual award is given by the german city of fun to individuals and institutions who've worked for your peed

unity the prize committee said they pick mccall in recognition of his vision of a new europe previous winners include hope francis and german politician martin shorts. are you watching the news we saw a lot more to tell you about here is what's ahead. martin schulz leader of germany's social democrats is setup to start talks with unlimited conservatives on forming a new coalition government and the w.'s has an exclusive interview with the man who may have the key to unlocking germany's political stalemate. but before that i want to send you over to dear art and to talk about that meteoric rise of it quite yeah the rise and fall these days you never really know because the virtual currency tumbled more than twelve percent in volatile asian trading on friday after touching a record high above sixteen thousand u.s. dollars in the session but it soon dropped below the fifteen thousand dollar level

again the largest u.s. crypto currency exchange has been struggling to manage record traffic as the women of the launch of the first big calling futures contract fueled investor interest even further. this sunday it's kickoff for bitcoin future trades potentially propelling the cryptocurrency from the fringes to the forefront of finance traders are busy coming up with a game plans the futures market allows them to speculate on the cryptic currencies priced at a later date something which may stabilize the cryptocurrency but also push the price down from the dizzying heights of where it has been i think really argue a correction and i suspect the correction will happen when the futures markets come online and so my suggestion is to kind of wait and see what happens i think that if you're investing though for the next two years or three years then the difference between the price now and the price in a week's time may be irrelevant. some say that bitcoin might not even be around in

the next two to three years there is notoriously volatile with warnings that it may self-destruct and it's not backed all the same its impact is already thought to be last thing whatever you might think about cleave to paris is the reality is that the technology behind it which is the block chain is here to stay if i can make a kind of a comparison is more like the dot com bubble that we had early two thousand. while everybody was getting rates just having you know a dot com on the web side but even after the bubble burst the internet is still there we have facebook google so the technology behind it is here to stay whether becoming a few just might prove the downfall or making of the digital dolling is something really i need a few chicken toe germany's rail service is stepping up its game in the competition for passengers on domestic routes today it opened a new high speed route between the capital berlin of the north east and the economic hub of munich in the south of the country it is one of germany's most

profitable commuter routes it usually takes six hours but the six hundred twenty kilometer ride will not take less than four that'll put competitive pressures on line and bus companies serving the same route and top of the project cost ten billion years to complete making it europe's most expensive rail project. as cross straight over to berlin is main station where the first of those new fast service has just arrived from munich actually carrying. my colleague to ponder is standing by there chip house the uptake by regular passengers that do they like it . well we had a few regular passengers obviously on the special train today with a special train the official regular train is starting on sunday so today we had a couple of passengers and most of them were really excited and very happy about

the fact that they could travel from munich to berlin in just four hours or three hours fifty eight minutes to be precise and we spoke with a man who was with his wife and his child and they were traveling to berlin just for dinner and they'd taken the train right back so that's just an example of you know passengers that we saw on there was a woman also talked about the symbolism of course for the former east and you know the rest of germany because this train track unites two parts of germany to parts of germany that used to be in different parts of the country at one point and that's what's very important for at least some passengers they see it as a very symbolic project for that reason and so a little excitement on the train obviously a lot of fans people who love trains people who participated in a competition in order to get the chance to ride on this particular train that we came in on so it was really a good ride out say to push for the berlin's main station for us thank you very much. and that's all your business for the moment it's back to late

all right thank you so very much we want to talk now about the s.p.d. because germany's social democrats are meeting in berlin to consider key issues they want to talk take into talks with america on forming the country's next government party leader martin schulz stressed the role of germany and europe pledging to push for a korean are so arms that would eventually lead to a united states of europe as putin delegates voted on thursday for coalition talks with america's conservatives all right and they'll start next week more than two months after germany's elections and the deal is thomas sparrow caught up with mark schultz and i asked him if that wasn't too long. many countries in europe and indeed around the world are looking at germany and wondering when there will be a formal government and now the social democrats have agreed on a procedure that could take weeks if not months can't germany afford to be so long

without a government there is first of all a government in office which is by the way. composed by the christian democrats and the social democrats that are going to america less chance to see my god where this first chancellor so germany for the time being is a rule by a next thing government and therefore the acting government has a parliamentarian majority we have no need to speed up especially looking to the fact that the so-called john mica allies crashed completely with the negotiations. they took two months after the election after the vote. to disagree they needed two months to disagree of the vote everything so. two or three weeks time to check if it makes sense to build and to continue on the basis of a system of program incorporating i think that's justified and where justified for

us. one of your key proposals is that idea of a united states of europe but wouldn't it be also important to focus on a united s.p.d. given the fact that so many delegates here seem to be against that idea of another grand coalition i think. proposal table to yesterday but the bureau of the party unanimously adopted in the bureau of the party for the opening of negotiations first of all about content to improving the internal situation the best execution in germany improving the situation of the european union but got an overwhelming majority of the around i think ninety percent of the delegates voted to increase over that open. a way for negotiations with an open urn yes for sure between early elections and grand coalition of the americas possible but it depends from how we are able to agree on contemned that's the most important point for us

and how confident are you mr shows that the conservatives will actually also be interested in that idea of yours of a united states of europe i think this is a proposal of the is pretty since nineteen twenty five. to discuss how to improve especially of the breaks of the remaining twenty seven member states how they can improve the basis of the cooperation that's the list treaty which is a visibly not sufficient for solving a lot of problems we have internally and in international relations and that's what i mean with the united states of europe that will not be kind of united states of america or european soil become transformed french in the california you know german and thinks alien so impossible national civil or entity is strong and we remain but to deepen the transnational corporations that's what i mean with the united states of europe thank you very much for this interview mr schultz. now the

winter olympic games are fast approaching and among athletes training for peak performance are the women's bobsled team from nigeria there's not much snow in this west african nation but if the sun kissed island of jamaica could do it in one thousand nine hundred eight what's stopping the weather from nigeria and the super eagles are no lacking in ambition take a look. the ball started they were going to get venture in twenty sixteen after a successful crowdfunding campaign began training in the united states they broke that place last month off to strong performances and qualify as now the pride of nigeria. it's been beautiful to know that nigeria is supporting us they've never had anyone in the winter olympics and we're excited to see that happen nigerians globally people that are even nigerian you know just being supportive of the fact that this country is going to get representation at the winter olympics and the
